Description
Farmer John wants to repair a small length of the fence around the pasture. He measures the fence and finds that he needs N (1 ≤ N ≤ 20,000) planks of wood, each having some integer length Li (1 ≤ Li ≤ 50,000) units. He then purchases a single long board just long enough to saw into the N planks (i.e., whose length is the sum of the lengths Li). FJ is ignoring the "kerf", the extra length lost to sawdust when a sawcut is made; you should ignore it, too.
FJ sadly realizes that he doesn't own a saw with which to cut the wood, so he mosies over to Farmer Don's Farm with this long board and politely asks if he may borrow a saw.
Farmer Don, a closet capitalist, doesn't lend FJ a saw but instead offers to charge Farmer John for each of the N-1 cuts in the plank. The charge to cut a piece of wood is exactly equal to its length. Cutting a plank of length 21 costs 21 cents.
Farmer Don then lets Farmer John decide the order and locations to cut the plank. Help Farmer John determine the minimum amount of money he can spend to create the N planks. FJ knows that he can cut the board in various different orders which will result in different charges since the resulting intermediate planks are of different lengths.
Input
Lines 2.. N+1: Each line contains a single integer describing the length of a needed plank
Output
Sample Input
3 8 5 8
Sample Output
34
Hint
The original board measures 8+5+8=21. The first cut will cost 21, and should be used to cut the board into pieces measuring 13 and 8. The second cut will cost 13, and should be used to cut the 13 into 8 and 5. This would cost 21+13=34. If the 21 was cut into 16 and 5 instead, the second cut would cost 16 for a total of 37 (which is more than 34).
题意:他一共找了N跟木棍 (1 ≤ N ≤ 20,000),每根木棍的长度为 Li (1 ≤ Li ≤ 50,000) 。现在他要把这N根木棍连接在一起,每次连接只能把两根木棍连在一起,而且每连接一次都需要花费一些money去买材料,买这些材料要用的money和要连接的两根木棍的长度之和相等(如:把长度分别为5和8的木棍连在一起,买材料就需要花13元)。
题解:只有把最长的木棍放在最后加的次数才会最少,钱才会少。所以每次取最短的两根相连。
就要把前一次取的两根的和放入队列再次比较
